Rival Realms is a world of knights and wizards, mercenaries and thieves, where armies of Pegas Riders roam the wilderness and armadas of warships patrol the high seas in search of wealth and adventure. There are three races (not just the obligatory two) to choose from: the versatile Humans, the magical Elves and the belligerent Greenskins as you take your armies onwards to victory across a fantasy backdrop of mythical beasts, unexplored worlds and uncharted waters. With absorbing gameplay, an easy to use interface, in-depth tutorials, three immersive campaigns, a comprehensive level editor, internet/network play for up to eight players and, a first for any RTS, the complete tailoring of all individual troops (not just the hero), Rival Realms offers gamers everything they’ve always loved in an RTS and adds a lot more of what they’ve always wanted. What really sets this game apart is the detail and level of gameplay on offer; rather than simply charging troops headlong into battle, gamers are encouraged to think about such things as strategies of attack and defence, troop experience and the basic economics of war - troops need feeding, you know! · Choose from one of three different races: Human, Elven and Greenskins, each with its own individual qualities. · Each race has 14 different types of troops (including thieves, spies and mercenaries) and 12 different types of buildings · Three campaigns featuring a massive 60 missions! · Every single troop or unit throughout your armies gain their own individual experience points and artifacts/items which they carries with them through campaigns. Experience can be very important to the outcome of battles · There is a save troops function which allows you to hire your troops from a library for use in your future campaigns (you can even change their name and colour) · There is a Sim City / Resource Management element to building up troops and citadels from which you wage your wars · As well as opposing races, players have to contend with a whole host of mythical creatures · There are more than fifty different items available to players including magical and skill artifacts, spell scrolls, potions, keys, bombs, resources and bonuses · Players can also trade artifacts and potions between one another · High level of individual and collective troop and enemy A.I. which reacts to the battle and environment in which it is surrounded · User-friendly interface featuring grouping functions, and hot keys · Numerous attack and defence strategies, including hot-keyed formations for troops in battle · Wizardry, magic and spellcasting, a favourite amongst RTS players, is extremely powerful (examples include ‘Berserker’, which makes enemy troops fight amongst themselves, and ‘Poison Cropland’, which poisons enemy troops’ food sources.) · Multi-player function allowing up to eight players to play co-operative or head-to-head challenges · Complete level/campaign editor which allows unlimited terrain · 'Record' function which allows players to review games and play them on from any point · Superb character-, building- and environment animation (including shadows) For Further Information Contact: Digital Integration Limited Watchmoor Trade Centre, Watchmoor Road, Camberley, Surrey, GU15 3AJ United Kingdom Tel: +44 (0)1276 684959 Fax: +44 (0)1276 21541 E-mail: rival@digint.co.uk Web Site: http://www.digint.co.uk
